I agree with this assessment. I like the Elecraft solution. The K3 screen gives you clearly and simply what you need to know at a glance. No fuss and always there for you.
You want a screen with a lot of other information including a band scope, put it in a separate box. That leaves you free to innovate and add features as you want without tampering with the main information screen on the K3. Most importantly make it reliable and make it work practically without the need to add a computer to the mix.

With all due respect, I think the K3/P3 is a classic design, including the man-machine interface. Not a square nanometer of wasted real estate, everything is where I need it the most and when I need it quickly. Graphics, interactivity, not too much, not too little, just the right touch. It is quite clear that a great deal of thought and iteration went into laying it out. In that sense, it's like my Collins S-Line, another obviously well thought-out intuitive classic design that is a delight to operate. So bedecking either of these with a multicolor touch screen is not something that appeals to me personally.
